Answer:

v= -2

Explanation:

10+2v=−6(3v+5)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

10+2v=−6(3v+5)10+2v=(−6)(3v)+(−6)(5)(Distribute)10+2v=−18v+−302v+10=−18v−30Step 2:

Add 18v to both sides.

2v+10+18v=−18v−30+18v20v+10=−30

Step 3:

Subtract 10 from both sides

.20v+10−10=−30−1020v=−40

Step 4:

Divide both sides by 20.20v20=−4020v=−2

Answer:v=−2
